1. I'm going the absentee route
As someone who works with computers every day, I damn sure don't trust them to do what I want them to.

That sig graphic reminds me of a poster from the shroomery. Haven't been there in ages...

3. Maybe they can use it on CBS "Sunday Morning" as one of the suns
I think that's what the show is called. They use a different "sun" at the end of each segment.

4. I've found Sequoia machines really easy to use...
the problem is not knowing what happens when I hit the VOTE button. What confidence I do have is due to checking and finding that in 2000, despite a narrow Republican majority, my county went for Gore by a 54% - 44% margin. :shrug:
